To all whom it only concern: a

lie it known thatl FRANK ll. lloenn, a citizen of the fllllitecltltatea and resident oi. *l oricon, in the countyol Dodge and t t' te oi i l isconsin, have invented no" i and ul linprovements in tiltocle Wstoring Devices of which the following is a description, reterence being had to the accompanyin; drawings which are apart of this specifi ration. i

This invention relates to certain new and useful improvements in stock watering bowls.

As at times, various animals of a herd become sick and while in such condition it it advisable to prevent them from obtaining water it is one oi the objects otthis inven tion to provide means whereby the water bowl stationed in the stall of a sick animal may be temporarily rendered inoperative.

Another object of this invention is to provide means for rendering the valve operating mechanism of a stock watering bowl inoperative to shut of]? the supply of water thereto whereby the necessity of: an expensive valve structure placed in the supply pipe is eliminated.

A further object oi. this invention is to provide means carried by the water bowl proper and. engageable with the valve en- 'a 'ing portion of an operating treadle to retain the same against movement.

A still l'urther obgect of this invention is to provide a device of the class described capable 01. production without increasing the cost of the bowl.

With the above and other objects in view which will. appear as the description proceeds, my invention resides in the novel construction, combination and arrangement of parts substantially as herelnatter described Specification of ltetters ratent. JP'HfljtPlItQdl and more particularly defined by the ap-v pended clanns it being; understood that such changes in the precise embodiment of the herein disclosed invention may be made as come within the'scope of the claims.

In t the accompanying drawing 1 have illustrated one complete example of the physical embodiment of my invention con structed according to the best mode I have so far devised; for the practical. applicationoi the principles thereohand in which:

Figure 1 is a side view of a stock watering device embodying my invention, the

bowl proper and the bowl retaining latch section and part in elevatioi'i, said view being taken on the plane of line 2 E2 of Figure 1. 1

Referring now more particularly to the accompanying drawing in which like 11in.

merals designate like several views: 1

The numeralsfi and 6 designate the vertically extending portions of a supply pipe of substantially inverted U-shape, the portion being enganecl at either end with a supply pipe 7. In the drawing, the lower end of portion is illustrated as connected to the supply pipe and the upper end, as shut oil by a plug 8, but it will be understood that the water maybe let in from either end. 1 v

The ninneral 9 designates a bowl which is detachably connected to the supply pipe by a pivoted catch or latch 10 mounted on the pipe and engaging a projection or shoulder 11 on the bowl. The end of the portion 6 is arranged to discharge into the bowl 9 and is normally closed by any desired form of valve construction, not shown, having' an operating stem 12 for engagement with a rearwardlyextending lug or ear 13 of a treadle member 14;.

The treadle member 14 is pivotally sup ported from the portion 6 by an car 15 formed thereon and connected between two spaced cars 16, carried by the treadle member by a pivot pin or bolt 17. The treadle 141- normally lies in itsdotted line position of Figure 1 and is depressedv by the animal to move the stem 12 into the supply pipe to open the valve and permit the water to flow into the bowl.

When it is desired to render the bowl inoperative by the animal, the bowl. is wholly or partly removed. from the supply pipe by releasing the latch 10 and the treadle then swung on its pivot to its full line position, Figure 1 when the bowl is again secured to the supply pipe by engaging the latch behind the shoulder 11. With the treadle in a substantially vertical position when the bowl is secured to the supply pipe, the extension 13 will be engaged in front of an upstanding ear or lug 18 formed on the botparts throughout the tom of the bowl, which will prevent the re turn of the treadle to its operative position, shown by dotted lines in i igure 1.

Thus it will be s cn that the valve mechanism will be rendered inoperative by the animal Without the necessity of placing: an

additional valve in the supply pipe 7 and that the only change in the present construction that is necessary is the provision of the ear or lug 18.

While, in the accoinpn vyingdrawing, the projection 18 for engaging the valve .12 also engages the lug 18, it will be understood that, in the event that the specific valve structure does not necessitate the pro ision of such an extension 13, the treadle member may be equipped with a part for retaining; toe same against operation.

From the foregoing; description taken in connection with the accompanyingdrawing, it Will be obvious that I provide an e19 tremely simple but ellicient means for rendering the Water supply of a bowl inoperative and at the same time permitting the same to be readily coupled for operation.

l/Vhat I claim as my invention is:

1. In a device of the class described, the combination 01" a supply pipe provided with a discharge nozzle, a valve adapted to control said nozzle provided with a valve stem, a valve actuating member coxngrising;- a treadle pivotally secured to said nozzle and provided With an extension adapted to engage said valve stem to open said valve, and

a bowl detacliably secured to said nozzle and provided with n projertion adapted to engage said extensioi'i to render said liendle inoperative.

2. A device of the class drsrribud. -o1nprising a bowl, a supply pipe arranged lo discharge therein, valve means rontrolliirg the supply of Water into the bowl from said supply pipe and including; a t ndlr IHI'EH- ber normally lying; in a substantially horizontal plane Within the bowl, and means engageable with the treadlr nirinbvr lo a r-- cure the same in position whereby said valve conlrolliin means will be rendered inoperative,

3. In a device oi the class: desw-iliol the combination of a supply pipe prov idrd \villl a discharge nozzle. a valv adapted to mirtrol said nozzle provided with a valve sl m. a valve controlling; member comprising :1 treadle pivoially secured to said nozzle and provided with an extension adapted to 011- said valvi stem to open said valve. a bowl adapted to receive liquid 'l'roni said nozzle and provided with :2 lug :idn 3rd to engage said extension to render said valve actuatin5;;- member inoperative, and means for ren'iovably securing said bowl to said nozzle whereby said lJOWl may be moved in a substantially vertical direc'stion to on 3;:1 o and disengage said lug; from said extension.

In testimony whereof I ailix my signature.
